Here's how it will start
1. Everybody will start saying we're to big to be pieced out. (so was Comair)
2. People will say this is different, no its not.........
3. People will say other companies can't spool up training fast enough (yes they can Mesa and CHQ did it very fast to OH) Also pilot shortage well eagle pilots being furloughed will start applying to those companies getting the flying and so will instructors, NO SHORTAGE
4. Company will start saying we cost to much every day, and the union will say fight to the end
5. AMR will just start to transfer stuff and the union will fight it but go no where.
6. in 5 years eagle will be half the size, and people will keep saying this is crap, will get more flying. Senior guys will look for young to fly for free. Mang. will spread rumors through line pilots that are underneath the desk of the VP'S on there knees. Rumors will be such as, 170's and 190's are on the way. you'll hear our union is in talks with APA about a merger of list, and our union won't deny it because it makes them look good.
7. Then the bad will come the first day of the 6th year of the diversification.
So far at EAGLE the union has said will win every grievance against AMR, We're to big to be pieced out. Thats all a joke AMR wouldn't do it if they didn't think they could get a way with it. And being to big means nothing this crap doesn't happen the next morning. So if they take 25 ERJ this week, and 15 9 months from now, 22, 18 months from now, 36 3 years from now and so on, what does being to big have anything to do with it.
Sorry for lack of sentence structure and ramblings but have the worst cold ever from all the fat overweight hillbillies and angle walking rude French people at Disney this week. But mark my words this is how it will break down. If they wanted Eagle to do the flying then they would not touch a thing, But by diversifying us they make it look like the management of Eagle botched it (in the long run) and it won't hurt AMR stock at all since it was split. And for the share holders, yeah they'll make it look like Eagle has a chance, but they could care less cause they are AMR and EAGLE won't be part of AMR except they are the carrier that is costing AMR shareholders money cause are cost are to high and if they go out and get CHQ to do the flying it'll be cheaper. At that point they (shareholders) would have all dumped EAGLE stock by then, and would be all for getting someone besides EAGLE to do the flying cheaper. You'll learn quickly why DCI carriers hate CHQ and MESA
